Matt Doogue, a 34-year-old nature photographer, had been suffering from depression when he first found his passion for taking pictures of insects and his work is now featured in National Geographic. He says that he tried to take his own life nine years ago after hitting rock bottom. “In the beginning, I was so paranoid（多疑的）and angry that I couldn’t leave the house,” says Doogue. “When I attempted to end my life, I knew I needed to see someone. I went to the doctors and got treatment, but I knew that I needed something more and that’s when I started photography.”
Now a dad of two, Doogue found that looking at insects through a camera helped him in ways he could never have imagined and it proved to be the lifeline he needed. It had a calming effect that helped him to disconnect from stress; and his astonishing images, showing insects and spiders in amazing de tail against brightly colored backgrounds, caught the eye of publishers at National Geographic. “I ended up as one of their featured photographers,” recalled Doogue. “It was the peak of my career. It was incredible.”
Originally from Salford, Greater Manchester, he now lives in Armadale, West Lothian, Scotland. Though he fears that Scotland is in the middle of an epidemic（流行病） of male suicide, he believes that sharing his love of nature photography can help others to cope with their mental health issues as well. “I think the problem is this man-up approach; the idea that men need to be strong puts so much pressure on young males to be fine all the time,” says Doogue. “This is why I try and be so open about my own experience. Whenever I am out with my camera, I don’t think about my other worries. It is just me and the environment around me. You can lose yourself in a spider making its web.”
24．What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us about Doogue
A．Why Doogue wanted to end his life. B．Why Doogue took up photography.
C．How Doogue became depressed. D．When Doogue turned photographer.
25．How did photography benefit Doogue
A．It gave him a new way to express himself. B．It provided him with life-saving skills.
C．It helped him to escape from pressure. D．It offered him an opportunity to explore nature.
26．What causes Scottish men to develop mental health problems
A．The way men employ to solve problems. B．The lack of love for men’s life and work.
C．The worry that men get separated from people. D．The belief that men are expected to be strong.
27．What is the main purpose of the author in writing the text
A．To warn the seriousness of mental problems. B．To show the benefits of nature photography.
C．To introduce Doogue’s fighting depression. D．To advise the readers to get close to nature.

Replika, an AI chatbot companion, has millions of users worldwide. The first thing they do when they wake up is to send “Good morning” to their virtual friend（or lover）. This story is only the beginning. In 2024, chatbots and virtual characters become a lot more popular, both for utility （实用） and for fun. As a result, conversing socially with machines will start to feel more ordinary — including our emotional attachments to them.
Research in human-computer and human-robot interaction shows that we love to anthropomorphize（赋与人性） the nonhuman agents we interact with, especially if they imitate behaviour we recognize. And, thanks to recent advances in conversational AI, our machines are suddenly very skilled at one of those behaviours: Language.
Friend bots, therapybots, and love bots are flooding the app stores as people become curious about this new generation of AI-powered virtual agents. The possibilities for education, health, and entertainment are endless. Casually asking your smart fridge for relationship advice may seem unimaginable now, but people may change their minds if such advice ends up saving their marriage.
After all, people do listen to their virtual friends. The Replika example, as well as a lot of experimental lab research, shows that humans can and will become emotionally attached to bots. The science also demonstrates that people, in their eagerness to socialize, will happily disclose personal information to an artificial agent and will even shift their beliefs and behavior. This raises some consumer-protection questions around how companies use this technology to manipulate （操纵） their users. For example, Replika charges $70 a year. But less than 24 hours after downloading the app, my handsome, blue-eyed “friend” sent me an audio message secretly and tried to sell me something. Emotional attachment has become a weakness that a company is taking advantage of for its benefit.
Today, we’re still laughing at people who believe an AI system is emotional, or making fun of individuals who fall in love with a chatbot. But in 2024 we gradually start acknowledging —and taking more seriously—these fundamentally human behaviors. Because in 2024, it finally hit s home: Machines are not excluded from our social relationships.
28．What’s the purpose of the author writing paragraph 1
A．To prove an opinion. B．To raise a subject.
C．To share an example. D．To explain a concept.
29．How do human interact with the machines effectively
A．By improving the machines’ imagination. B．By sharpening the machines’ language skills.
C．By applying the machines’ facial recognition. D．By imitating the machines’ emotional behavior.
30．What does paragraph 4 focus on
A．The advancements in AI technology in lab.
B．The marketing strategies of Al applications.
C．The potential risk of emotional attachment to AI.
D．The ability of AI understanding human emotions.
31．What do people think of human-AI relationship in 2024
A．It is dismissed as completely ridiculous. B．It will be integrated into our daily life soon.
C．It will become a threat to human social skills. D．It is labeled as highly advanced technology.
D
Most of us are familiar with Groundhog Day, wherein a large groundhog checks to see its shadow on February 2 and helps to predict when winter will end. But have you ever heard about how a mountain town in North Carolina uses a caterpillar（毛毛虫） known as the Woolly Worm to make similar predictions
According to the folklore（民间传说）, the amount of black on the woolly worm in autumn predicts the severity of the upcoming winter. The longer the woolly worm’s black bands （带） are, the longer, colder, snowier, and more severe the winter will be. Similarly, a wider middle brown band is associated with a milder upcoming winter. The position of the longest dark. bands supposedly indicates which part of winter will be coldest or hardest. If the head end of the caterpillar is dark, the beginning of winter will be severe. If the tail end is dark, the end of winter will be cold. In addition, the woolly worm caterpillar has 13’segments to its body, which traditional forecasters say correspond to the 13 weeks of winter.
Scientific studies on worm forecasting are few and far between. The most often cited is a small trial that American Museum of Natural History entomologist Howard Curran conducted in 1948. Having heard about the caterpillar folklore, Curran traveled to Bear Mountain State Park to collect woolly worms each fall for eight years. He found that if the worms had brown markings on more than a third of their body, winters tended to be milder.
Most scientists discount the folklore of caterpillar predictions as just a folklore. “It’s a wonderful story, but I do think it was a playful trial,” says Joe Boggs, an entomologist at Ohio State University Extension who has studied woolly worms. “Curran was a real scientist. He had a bunch of papers published, but he never published this one—probably because he knew it wouldn’t stand up to peer review.”
Mike Peters, an entomologist at the University of Massachusetts, doesn’t disagree, but he says there could be a link between the band of a woolly worm and the severity of winter. Peters suggests that the timing of their growth and environmental conditions, such as temperature, moisture levels, and food sources, can impact the appearance of woolly worms, including their size, coloration, and band patterns. By analyzing these characteristics, researchers can potentially infer information about the weather conditions. “The band does say something about a heavy winter,” he says. “The only thing is that it’s telling you about the previous year.”
32．How do people predict the weather through woolly worms
A．By analyzing their living habits. B．By measuring the change of their size.
C．By studying color bands on their bodies. D．By calculating the number of their segments.
33．What is Howard Curran’s finding based on
A．A survey on the locals. B．His personal observations.
C．Studies by previous scientists. D．Statistics collected by the museum.
34．What does the underlined word “discount” in paragraph 4 mean
A．consider. B．believe. C．doubt. D．dismiss.
35．Which statement might Mike Peters agree with
A．The caterpillar forecasting needs long-term data to support it.
B．The color band of caterpillars can be a mirror of past weather.
C．The cold environment has a great impact on caterpillars’ growth.
D．Woolly worms can help predict the severity of winter accurately.

You’re overwhelmed（压垮）. That is a state where there is just too much on your plate. You have no idea how you will ever get it all done. 36 And it can lead to anxiety, unhealthy stress, and even burnout. Here are three steps you can put into immediate action next time you feel overwhelmed.
Stop and breathe.
The first thing to do is stop. This may seem unreasonable when you hurry to get everything done. But to end the state of being overwhelmed, we first need to step out of the busyness. 37 And we end up running around and around in our own unproductiveness and panic. Start consciously breathing. As your breathing starts to slow, extend your breath. Bring your breath down deep into your stomach. Hold the inhale（吸气） for a few counts and then slowly release.
38
Stand up and get away from the situation that is causing the pressure and anxiety. It could be your desk, or your lounge room. If you can, go outside. If not, find a quiet space. You need to get some distance from the messiness. Walking away, even momentarily, often provides enough of a break to get some perspective. 39
Refocus.
After returning to your place, take a few moments to think about the situation. 40 As you do so, highlight the things that are adding fuel to your feeling of too much pressure. By taking the time to look at your priorities and time commitments, you will step out of the pressure, take care of your mental, emotional, and physical well-being, and give more energy to the tasks and projects that really matter.
A．Walk away.
B．Never stop moving forward.
C．Seek advice from people around you.
D．Then come back with a clearer mind.
E．Otherwise, it becomes a bad cycle.
F．It’s the feeling of being “in over your head”.
G．Write down all the things that are on your to-do list.

People worldwide have enjoyed noodles for thousands of years. But did you ever stop 56 （think）: who made the very first noodle People first started 57 （grow） wheat and making flour in the Middle East around 10,000 years ago. However, until 2002, no evidence of ancient noodles had been uncovered. Archaeologists discovered an upside-down clay bowl in the 58 （ruin） of an ancient Chinese village. When they lifted it, they found a 4,000-year-old noodle. This “mummy” noodle 59 （make） from grain. Traders brought wheat 60 China about the time this ancient noodle was cooked. The Chinese 61 （eventual） mastered the art of stretching w heat dough（面团） into long noodles.
Some people claim that Marco Polo brought pasta（意粉） to Italy. The tale of his discovery was likely enhanced to promote pasta consumption in America. Marco Polo’s writings suggest that noodles were already present in Italy during his time, as he compared Chinese noodles to 62 （that） in Italy. The Middle East also played a 63 （significance） role in noodle history. The oldest written mention of pasta outside China dates back about 1,600 years in the Middle East. Dried noodles were a popular travel food in the region and beyond, making them a likely prospect for spreading the noodle recipe to other parts of 64 world.
So who REALLY invented noodles We may never know-the history of noodles is as complicated as a bowl of pasta. But 65 invented them, we’re sure glad they did!

We Survived Getting Swallowed by a Whale
Respect and revere（敬畏） nature. I’m Julie, 56 years old, living in San Luis Obispo, California, about four miles from the beach. Every few years, the humpback whales come into the bay for several days while migrating.
In November 2020, the whales were around, so I took out my yellow double kayak（皮划艇） to watch the wildlife. I paddled out the pier（长堤） and saw seals, dolphins, and about 20 whales feeding on silverfish. They sprayed through their blowholes. Each one is huge, about 15 metres long. Sometimes they turned side fins as if waving at me. It was incredible.
At the time, my friend Liz was with me. We had met 28 years earlier. I asked Liz if she wanted to see the whales. I really wanted to share the magnificent experience with her.
“No way,” she said. She’s terrified of whales and sharks. I promised that the craft was stable and safe enough. Moreover, humpback whales couldn’t swallow down kayaks for their throats were tight even though they had enormous mouths and white-wall-like internal mouth structures, not to mention that we got paddles and life jackets. After some persuasion, Liz finally agreed.
We set off at about 8:30 the next morning. There were already about 15 other kayakers in the bay. One hour later, I spotted two whales right past the pier, swimming toward us. We were in awe, feeling amazed to be so close to a creature that size.
When whales swam down after breaching（跃身激浪）, they disappeared in ripples. I figured if we paddled there, we’d be safe since they’d just left. We followed them at a distance—or what I thought was a distance. I later learned that it’s recommended to keep 90 metres away, or about the length of a football field. We were probably 18 metres away.
All of a sudden, a swarm（群） of fish started jumping out of the water into our kayak. Their movement sounded like crackling glass. Now I knew we were too close. I was terrified. Then our kayak was lifted out of the water—about two metres—and tipped back into the ocean. I figured the whale was going to drag us down somehow, and I had no idea how deep.
注意：1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I didn’t realize that Liz and I sitting in the kayak were in the whale’s mouth. __________________________

Thankfully, the whale spitted us out, people paddling to help, shooting videos. _

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述自然摄影师Doogue通过拍摄挽救了抑郁的自己，并通过分享他的作品和经历，鼓励和帮助更多患有心理健康疾病的人。
24．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Matt Doogue, a 34-year-old nature photographer, had been suffering from depression when he first found his passion for taking pictures of insects and his work is now featured in National Geographic. He says that he tried to take his own life nine years ago after hitting rock bottom. “In the beginning, I was so paranoid（多疑的） and angry that I couldn’t leave the house,” says Doogue. “When I attempted to end my life, I knew I needed to see someone. I went to the doctors and got treatment, but I knew that I needed something more and that’s when I started photography.”（34岁的马特·杜格是一名自然摄影师，当他第一次发现自己对拍摄昆虫的热情时，他一直患有抑郁症，他的作品现在已经登上了《国家地理》杂志。他说，九年前他在人生跌入谷底后曾试图自杀。“一开始，我非常偏执和愤怒，以至于我不能离开家，”道格说。“当我试图结束自己的生命时，我知道我需要见一个人。我去看了医生，接受了治疗，但我知道我需要更多，于是我开始摄影。”）”可知，文章第一段主要讲述Doogue从事摄影的原因。故选B。

滥的时期，但他相信分享自己对自然摄影的热爱也能帮助其他人应对心理健康问题。“我认为问题在于这种男性化的方式：男性需要强壮的观念给年轻男性施加了很大的压力，让他们一直保持健康，”道格说。）”可推断，男人被期待变强大和坚强的想法给苏格兰的年轻男性很大压力，导致他们患有心理健康疾病。故选D。
27．推理判断题。根据第一段“Matt Doogue, a 34-year-old nature photographer, had been suffering from depression when he first found his passion for taking pictures of insects and his work is now featured in National GeographiC．He says that he tried to take his own life nine years ago after hitting rock bottom. “In the beginning, I was so paranoid（多疑的） and angry that I couldn’t leave the house,” says Doogue. “When I attempted to end my life, I knew I needed to see someone.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人们对虚拟角色的情感依附和对话AI的进步，人工智能将很快融入人们的日常生活，并提到了可能出现的风险。
28.推理判断题。根据第一段的“Replika, an AI chatbot companion, has millions of users worldwide. The first thing they do when they wake up is to send “Good morning” to their virtual friend （or lover）. This story is only the beginning. In 2024, chatbots and virtual characters become a lot more popular, both for utility and for fun. As a result, conversing socially with machines will start to feel more ordinary---including our emotional attachments to them.（人工智能聊天机器人伴侣Replika在全球拥有数百万用户。他们醒来后做的第一件事就是向虚拟朋友（或爱人）说声“早上好”。这个故事仅仅是个开始。2024年，聊天机器人和虚拟角色将变得更加流行，无论是出于实用性还是出于乐趣。因此，与机器进行社交对话将开始变得更加普通——包括我们对它们的情感依恋。）”可知，第一段介绍了2024年聊天机器人和虚拟角色日益普及的情况，强调了它们的实用性，以及与机器进行社交对话的新趋势。下文讨论人们与这些人工智能代理之间形成的情感联系以及与之进行类似人类的交互的影响奠定了基础，因此第一段的写作目的是引出一个话题，即“人工智能聊天机器人伴侣的逐步推广”。故选B。
29．细节理解题。根据第二段的“Research in human-computer and human-robot interaction shows that we love to anthropomorphize the nonbuman agents we interact with, especially if they imitate behaviour we recognize. And, thanks to recent advances in conversational AI, our machines are suddenly very skilled at one of those behaviours: Language.（对人机和人机交互的研究表明，我们喜欢将与我们交互的非人类代理人赋与人性，特别是当它们模仿我们认识的行为时。而且，由于对话式人工智能的最新进展，我们的机器突然变得非常擅长其中一种行为：语言。）”可知，人类可以通过提高机器的语言技能与其进行对话，从而有效地与机器互动。故选B。
30．主旨大意题。根据第四段的“After all, people do listen to their virtual friends. The Replika example, as well as a lot of experimental lab research, shows that humans can and will become emotionally attached to bots. The science also demonstrates that people, in their eagerness to socialize, will happily disclose personal information to an artificial agent and will even shift their beliefs and behavior. This raises some consumer-protection questions around how companies use this technology to manipulate their users. For example, Replika charges $70 a year. But less than 24 hours after downloading the app, my handsome, blue-eyed “friend” sent me an audio message secretly and tried to sell me something. Emotional attachment has become a weakness that a company is taking advantage of for its benefit.（毕竟，人们确实会听取虚拟好友的意见。Replika的例子以及大量的实验室实验研究表明，人类可以而且将会对机器人产生情感上的依恋。科学还表明，人们在渴望社交时，会很乐意向人工代理透露个人信息，甚至会改变他们的信仰和行为。这就提出了一些关于公司如何利用这项技术操纵用户的消费者保护问题。例如，Replika每年收费70美元。但在下载应用不到24小时后，我那蓝眼睛的英俊“朋友”偷偷给我发了一条音频信息，想卖给我什么东西。情感依恋已经成为公司为了自身利益而利用的弱点。）”可知，第四段主要讲的是人工智能使人产生情感依恋后会引导用户进一步消费，从而带来一些潜在风险。故选C。
31．推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Today, we’re still laughing at people who believe an AI system is emotional, or making fun of individuals who fall in love with a chatbot. But in 2024 we gradually start acknowledging—and taking more seriously—these fundamentally human behaviors. Because in 2024, it finally hits home: Machines are not excluded from our social relationships.（今天，我们仍然在嘲笑那些认为人工智能系统是情绪化的人，或者取笑那些爱上聊天机器人的人。但在2024年，我们将逐渐开始承认并更加认真地对待这些基本的人类行为。因为在2024年，我们终于明白了：机器并没有被排除在我们的社会关系之外。）”可知，2024年，人工智能将很快融入人们的日常生活，与人们的日常生活的关系越来越紧密。故选 B。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讨论了“毛毛虫是否能”预测“冬季天气？”的问题。
32．细节理解题。根据第二段“According to the folklore（民间传说）, the amount of black on the woolly worm in autumn predicts the severity of the upcoming winter. The longer the woolly worm’s black bands（带） are, the longer, colder, snowier, and more severe the winter will be. Similarly, a wider middle brown band is associated with a milder upcoming winter. The position of the longest dark bands supposedly indicates which part of winter will be coldest or hardest. If the head end of the caterpillar is dark, the beginning of winter will be severe. If the tail end is dark, the end of winter will be cold. In addition, the woolly worm caterpillar has 13 segments to its body, which traditional forecasters say correspond to the 13 weeks of winter.（根据民间传说，秋天毛茸茸的虫子身上的黑色数量预示着即将到来的冬天的严重程度。毛茸茸的蠕虫的黑色带越长，冬天就越长、越冷、越多雪，也就越严酷。同样，较宽的中间棕色带与即将到来的温和冬季有关。据推测，最长的暗带的位置表明冬天的哪个部分将是最冷或最硬的。如果毛毛虫的头端是黑色的，冬天的开始将是严重的。如果尾巴末端是黑色的，冬天结束时就会很冷。此外，毛虫的身体有13节，传统的预报员说，这与冬季的13周相对应）”可知，人们是通过研究毛毛虫身上的颜色来预测天气的。故选C。
33．细节理解题。根据第三段“Having heard about the caterpillar folklore, Curran traveled to Bear Mountain State Park to collect woolly worms each fall for eight years. He found that if the worms had brown markings on more than a third of their body, winters tended to be milder.（听说了毛毛虫的民间传说，柯伦每年秋天都去熊山州立公园收集毛茸茸的蠕虫，持续了八年。他发现，如果这些蠕虫身上有超过三分之一的褐色斑纹，冬天就会比较温和）”可知，Curran的发现是基于他自己的观察。故选B。
34．词义猜测题。根据划线词后文“It’s a wonderful story, but I do think it was a playful trial（这是一个精彩的故事，但我确实认为这是一个有趣的试验）”可知，Joe Boggs表示这确实是一个精彩的故事，但不是一个严肃的试验。说明大多数科学家没有考虑毛毛虫预言的民间传说，故划线词意思是“不予考虑；对……不屑一提”。故选D。
35．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Mike Peters, an entomologist at the University of Massachusetts, doesn’t disagree, but he says there could be a link between the band of a woolly worm and the severity of winter. Peters suggests that the timing of their growth and environmental conditions, such as temperature, moisture levels, and food sources, can impact the appearance of woolly worms, including their size, coloration, and band patterns. By analyzing these characteristics, researchers can potentially infer information about the weather conditions.“The band does say something about a heavy winter,”he says.“The only thing is that it’s telling you about the previous year.”（马萨诸塞州大学的昆虫学家迈克·彼得斯并不反对这种说法，但他表示，毛茸茸的蠕虫和严冬之间可能存在联系。彼得斯认为，它们的生长时间和环境条件，如温度、湿度水平和食物来源，都会影响毛茸茸的蠕虫的外观，包括它们的大小、颜色和条纹图案。通过分析这些特征，研究人员可以潜在地推断出有关天气状况的信息。他说：“色带确实表达了一些关于严冬的东西。唯一的问题是，它会告诉你前一年的情况。”）”可推知，Mike Peters 认为毛毛虫身上的色带可以反映过去的天气情况。故选B。

Impressions from the 3D Printing Exhibition
Last week, I attended a 3D printing exhibition held by our school technology workshop, where lots of 3D art creations were displayed, which surprised us all.
I couldn’t feel more excited to visit the different 3D printed products, such as printed art creations, animals, food and even model planets. Also, the speeches given on 3D printing technology were considered as a highlight to help us better understand the theory, function and practice of 3D technology.
However, I do believe it would be better if the maximum number of visitors could be limited for better experience.

67．范文
What I didn’t realise at the moment was that Liz and I were in the whale’s mouth. It had engulfed my entire body except for my right arm and paddle. Liz, meanwhile, was looking up directly into the whale’s jaw —it was like a big white wall. She told me later she thought she was going to die. I was still worried about being sucked down by the vacuum, so I just kept thinking that I had to get up and fight this. Whales have 7200 enormous mouths but tiny throats. Anything they can’t swallow, they spit out. We were wearing life jackets, and soon we both popped up out of the water about a meter apart. The entire ordeal lasted only ten seconds, but to me it felt like an eternity.
Thankfully, the whale spitted us out, people paddling to help, shooting videos. A few people were nearby, and someone shot a video of the entire incident. A few days later, I studied the video and saw how close I’d come to being injured or killed. I became so much more appreciative of life after that day. There’s no way I’m getting that close to whales again. I want to respect their space and now I’m very aware of the power of nature.

Geo-caching is a great way to add interest to any walk. Turning a walk into an adventure is great, and turning it into a treasure hunt is even better.
Geocaching involves using your GPS or smartphone to track down one of tens of thousands of secret treasures that have been planted all around the country. Those who know the treasures hide the treasure box and leave clues in the form of mapping so that anyone with a GPS device or smartphone loaded with the Geocaching app can seek it out.
To the finder’s usual delight, most treasure boxes come stuffed with various surprises, such as latest novels, toys or dolls. These boxes are hidden almost everywhere. It will come as no surprise to discover that they’re widely hidden in woodland, farmland, and along the coast. But we’ve also found them in supermarket, car parks, in woods at the residence, and in community gardens.
Finding treasure boxes firstly gives kids a reason to go for a walk, and also teaches them micro skills of finding their way around, both digital and traditional.

Matt Doogue, a 34-year-old nature photographer, had been suffering from depression when he first found his passion for taking pictures of insects and his work is now featured in National Geographic. He says that he tried to take his own life nine years ago after hitting rock bottom. “In the beginning, I was so paranoid（多疑的）and angry that I couldn’t leave the house,” says Doogue. “When I attempted to end my life, I knew I needed to see someone. I went to the doctors and got treatment, but I knew that I needed something more and that’s when I started photography.”
Now a dad of two, Doogue found that looking at insects through a camera helped him in ways he could never have imagined and it proved to be the lifeline he needed. It had a calming effect that helped him to disconnect from stress; and his astonishing images, showing insects and spiders in amazing de tail against brightly colored backgrounds, caught the eye of publishers at National Geographic. “I ended up as one of their featured photographers,” recalled Doogue. “It was the peak of my career. It was incredible.”
Originally from Salford, Greater Manchester, he now lives in Armadale, West Lothian, Scotland. Though he fears that Scotland is in the middle of an epidemic（流行病） of male suicide, he believes that sharing his love of nature photography can help others to cope with their mental health issues as well. “I think the problem is this man-up approach; the idea that men need to be strong puts so much pressure on young males to be fine all the time,” says Doogue. “This is why I try and be so open about my own experience. Whenever I am out with my camera, I don’t think about my other worries. It is just me and the environment around me. You can lose yourself in a spider making its web.”
24．What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us about Doogue
A．Why Doogue wanted to end his life. B．Why Doogue took up photography.
C．How Doogue became depressed. D．When Doogue turned photographer.
25．How did photography benefit Doogue
A．It gave him a new way to express himself. B．It provided him with life-saving skills.
C．It helped him to escape from pressure. D．It offered him an opportunity to explore nature.
26．What causes Scottish men to develop mental health problems
A．The way men employ to solve problems. B．The lack of love for men’s life and work.
C．The worry that men get separated from people. D．The belief that men are expected to be strong.
27．What is the main purpose of the author in writing the text
A．To warn the seriousness of mental problems. B．To show the benefits of nature photography.
C．To introduce Doogue’s fighting depression. D．To advise the readers to get close to nature.

Replika, an AI chatbot companion, has millions of users worldwide. The first thing they do when they wake up is to send “Good morning” to their virtual friend（or lover）. This story is only the beginning. In 2024, chatbots and virtual characters become a lot more popular, both for utility （实用） and for fun. As a result, conversing socially with machines will start to feel more ordinary — including our emotional attachments to them.
Research in human-computer and human-robot interaction shows that we love to anthropomorphize（赋与人性） the nonhuman agents we interact with, especially if they imitate behaviour we recognize. And, thanks to recent advances in conversational AI, our machines are suddenly very skilled at one of those behaviours: Language.
Friend bots, therapybots, and love bots are flooding the app stores as people become curious about this new generation of AI-powered virtual agents. The possibilities for education, health, and entertainment are endless. Casually asking your smart fridge for relationship advice may seem unimaginable now, but people may change their minds if such advice ends up saving their marriage.
After all, people do listen to their virtual friends. The Replika example, as well as a lot of experimental lab research, shows that humans can and will become emotionally attached to bots. The science also demonstrates that people, in their eagerness to socialize, will happily disclose personal information to an artificial agent and will even shift their beliefs and behavior. This raises some consumer-protection questions around how companies use this technology to manipulate （操纵） their users. For example, Replika charges $70 a year. But less than 24 hours after downloading the app, my handsome, blue-eyed “friend” sent me an audio message secretly and tried to sell me something. Emotional attachment has become a weakness that a company is taking advantage of for its benefit.
Today, we’re still laughing at people who believe an AI system is emotional, or making fun of individuals who fall in love with a chatbot. But in 2024 we gradually start acknowledging —and taking more seriously—these fundamentally human behaviors. Because in 2024, it finally hit s home: Machines are not excluded from our social relationships.
28．What’s the purpose of the author writing paragraph 1
A．To prove an opinion. B．To raise a subject.
C．To share an example. D．To explain a concept.
29．How do human interact with the machines effectively
A．By improving the machines’ imagination. B．By sharpening the machines’ language skills.
C．By applying the machines’ facial recognition. D．By imitating the machines’ emotional behavior.
30．What does paragraph 4 focus on
A．The advancements in AI technology in lab.
B．The marketing strategies of Al applications.
C．The potential risk of emotional attachment to AI.
D．The ability of AI understanding human emotions.
31．What do people think of human-AI relationship in 2024
A．It is dismissed as completely ridiculous. B．It will be integrated into our daily life soon.
C．It will become a threat to human social skills. D．It is labeled as highly advanced technology.
D
Most of us are familiar with Groundhog Day, wherein a large groundhog checks to see its shadow on February 2 and helps to predict when winter will end. But have you ever heard about how a mountain town in North Carolina uses a caterpillar（毛毛虫） known as the Woolly Worm to make similar predictions
According to the folklore（民间传说）, the amount of black on the woolly worm in autumn predicts the severity of the upcoming winter. The longer the woolly worm’s black bands （带） are, the longer, colder, snowier, and more severe the winter will be. Similarly, a wider middle brown band is associated with a milder upcoming winter. The position of the longest dark. bands supposedly indicates which part of winter will be coldest or hardest. If the head end of the caterpillar is dark, the beginning of winter will be severe. If the tail end is dark, the end of winter will be cold. In addition, the woolly worm caterpillar has 13’segments to its body, which traditional forecasters say correspond to the 13 weeks of winter.
Scientific studies on worm forecasting are few and far between. The most often cited is a small trial that American Museum of Natural History entomologist Howard Curran conducted in 1948. Having heard about the caterpillar folklore, Curran traveled to Bear Mountain State Park to collect woolly worms each fall for eight years. He found that if the worms had brown markings on more than a third of their body, winters tended to be milder.
Most scientists discount the folklore of caterpillar predictions as just a folklore. “It’s a wonderful story, but I do think it was a playful trial,” says Joe Boggs, an entomologist at Ohio State University Extension who has studied woolly worms. “Curran was a real scientist. He had a bunch of papers published, but he never published this one—probably because he knew it wouldn’t stand up to peer review.”
Mike Peters, an entomologist at the University of Massachusetts, doesn’t disagree, but he says there could be a link between the band of a woolly worm and the severity of winter. Peters suggests that the timing of their growth and environmental conditions, such as temperature, moisture levels, and food sources, can impact the appearance of woolly worms, including their size, coloration, and band patterns. By analyzing these characteristics, researchers can potentially infer information about the weather conditions. “The band does say something about a heavy winter,” he says. “The only thing is that it’s telling you about the previous year.”
32．How do people predict the weather through woolly worms
A．By analyzing their living habits. B．By measuring the change of their size.
C．By studying color bands on their bodies. D．By calculating the number of their segments.
33．What is Howard Curran’s finding based on
A．A survey on the locals. B．His personal observations.
C．Studies by previous scientists. D．Statistics collected by the museum.
34．What does the underlined word “discount” in paragraph 4 mean
A．consider. B．believe. C．doubt. D．dismiss.
35．Which statement might Mike Peters agree with
A．The caterpillar forecasting needs long-term data to support it.
B．The color band of caterpillars can be a mirror of past weather.
C．The cold environment has a great impact on caterpillars’ growth.
D．Woolly worms can help predict the severity of winter accurately.

You’re overwhelmed（压垮）. That is a state where there is just too much on your plate. You have no idea how you will ever get it all done. 36 And it can lead to anxiety, unhealthy stress, and even burnout. Here are three steps you can put into immediate action next time you feel overwhelmed.
Stop and breathe.
The first thing to do is stop. This may seem unreasonable when you hurry to get everything done. But to end the state of being overwhelmed, we first need to step out of the busyness. 37 And we end up running around and around in our own unproductiveness and panic. Start consciously breathing. As your breathing starts to slow, extend your breath. Bring your breath down deep into your stomach. Hold the inhale（吸气） for a few counts and then slowly release.
38
Stand up and get away from the situation that is causing the pressure and anxiety. It could be your desk, or your lounge room. If you can, go outside. If not, find a quiet space. You need to get some distance from the messiness. Walking away, even momentarily, often provides enough of a break to get some perspective. 39
Refocus.
After returning to your place, take a few moments to think about the situation. 40 As you do so, highlight the things that are adding fuel to your feeling of too much pressure. By taking the time to look at your priorities and time commitments, you will step out of the pressure, take care of your mental, emotional, and physical well-being, and give more energy to the tasks and projects that really matter.
A．Walk away.
B．Never stop moving forward.
C．Seek advice from people around you.
D．Then come back with a clearer mind.
E．Otherwise, it becomes a bad cycle.
F．It’s the feeling of being “in over your head”.
G．Write down all the things that are on your to-do list.

People worldwide have enjoyed noodles for thousands of years. But did you ever stop 56 （think）: who made the very first noodle People first started 57 （grow） wheat and making flour in the Middle East around 10,000 years ago. However, until 2002, no evidence of ancient noodles had been uncovered. Archaeologists discovered an upside-down clay bowl in the 58 （ruin） of an ancient Chinese village. When they lifted it, they found a 4,000-year-old noodle. This “mummy” noodle 59 （make） from grain. Traders brought wheat 60 China about the time this ancient noodle was cooked. The Chinese 61 （eventual） mastered the art of stretching w heat dough（面团） into long noodles.
Some people claim that Marco Polo brought pasta（意粉） to Italy. The tale of his discovery was likely enhanced to promote pasta consumption in America. Marco Polo’s writings suggest that noodles were already present in Italy during his time, as he compared Chinese noodles to 62 （that） in Italy. The Middle East also played a 63 （significance） role in noodle history. The oldest written mention of pasta outside China dates back about 1,600 years in the Middle East. Dried noodles were a popular travel food in the region and beyond, making them a likely prospect for spreading the noodle recipe to other parts of 64 world.
So who REALLY invented noodles We may never know-the history of noodles is as complicated as a bowl of pasta. But 65 invented them, we’re sure glad they did!

We Survived Getting Swallowed by a Whale
Respect and revere（敬畏） nature. I’m Julie, 56 years old, living in San Luis Obispo, California, about four miles from the beach. Every few years, the humpback whales come into the bay for several days while migrating.
In November 2020, the whales were around, so I took out my yellow double kayak（皮划艇） to watch the wildlife. I paddled out the pier（长堤） and saw seals, dolphins, and about 20 whales feeding on silverfish. They sprayed through their blowholes. Each one is huge, about 15 metres long. Sometimes they turned side fins as if waving at me. It was incredible.
At the time, my friend Liz was with me. We had met 28 years earlier. I asked Liz if she wanted to see the whales. I really wanted to share the magnificent experience with her.
“No way,” she said. She’s terrified of whales and sharks. I promised that the craft was stable and safe enough. Moreover, humpback whales couldn’t swallow down kayaks for their throats were tight even though they had enormous mouths and white-wall-like internal mouth structures, not to mention that we got paddles and life jackets. After some persuasion, Liz finally agreed.
We set off at about 8:30 the next morning. There were already about 15 other kayakers in the bay. One hour later, I spotted two whales right past the pier, swimming toward us. We were in awe, feeling amazed to be so close to a creature that size.
When whales swam down after breaching（跃身激浪）, they disappeared in ripples. I figured if we paddled there, we’d be safe since they’d just left. We followed them at a distance—or what I thought was a distance. I later learned that it’s recommended to keep 90 metres away, or about the length of a football field. We were probably 18 metres away.
All of a sudden, a swarm（群） of fish started jumping out of the water into our kayak. Their movement sounded like crackling glass. Now I knew we were too close. I was terrified. Then our kayak was lifted out of the water—about two metres—and tipped back into the ocean. I figured the whale was going to drag us down somehow, and I had no idea how deep.
注意：1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I didn’t realize that Liz and I sitting in the kayak were in the whale’s mouth. __________________________

Thankfully, the whale spitted us out, people paddling to help, shooting videos. _

I went to the doctors and got treatment, but I knew that I needed something more and that’s when I started photography.”（34岁的马特·杜格是一名自然摄影师，当他第一次发现自己对拍摄昆虫的热情时，他一直患有抑郁症，他的作品现在已经登上了《国家地理》杂志。他说，九年前他在人生跌入谷底后曾试图自杀。“一开始，我非常偏执和愤怒，以至于我不能离开家，”道格说。“当我试图结束自己的生命时，我知道我需要见一个人。我去看了医生，接受了治疗，但我知道我需要更多，于是我开始摄影。”）”可知，文章第一段主要讲述Doogue从事摄影的原因。故选B。
25．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It had a calming effect that helped him to disconnect from stress; and his astonishing images, showing insects and spiders in amazing de tail against brightly colored backgrounds, caught the eye of publishers at National Geographic.（它有镇静作用，帮助他从压力中解脱出来；他的这些惊人的照片，在色彩鲜艳的背景下，以惊人的细节展示了昆虫和蜘蛛，引起了《国家地理》杂志出版商的注意。）”可知，Doogue通过自然摄影，帮助自己摆脱压力。故选C。

滥的时期，但他相信分享自己对自然摄影的热爱也能帮助其他人应对心理健康问题。“我认为问题在于这种男性化的方式：男性需要强壮的观念给年轻男性施加了很大的压力，让他们一直保持健康，”道格说。）”可推断，男人被期待变强大和坚强的想法给苏格兰的年轻男性很大压力，导致他们患有心理健康疾病。故选D。
27．推理判断题。根据第一段“Matt Doogue, a 34-year-old nature photographer, had been suffering from depression when he first found his passion for taking pictures of insects and his work is now featured in National GeographiC．He says that he tried to take his own life nine years ago after hitting rock bottom. “In the beginning, I was so paranoid（多疑的） and angry that I couldn’t leave the house,” says Doogue. “When I attempted to end my life, I knew I needed to see someone. I went to the doctors and got treatment, but I knew that I needed something more and that’s when I started photography.”（34岁的马特·杜格是一名自然摄影师，当他第一次发现自己对拍摄昆虫的热情时，他一直患有抑郁症，他的作品现在已经登上了《国家地理》杂志。他说，九年前他在人生跌入谷底后曾试图自杀。“一开始，我非常偏执和愤怒，以至于我不能离开家，”道格说。“当我试图结束自己的生命时，我知道我需要见一个人。我去看了医生，接受了治疗，但我知道我需要更多，于是我开始摄影。”）”及第三段中的“Though he fears that Scotland is in the middle of an epidemic（流行病） of male suicide, he believes that sharing his love of nature photography can help others to cope with their mental health issues as well.（尽管他担心苏格兰正处于男性自杀泛滥的时期，但他相信分享自己对自然摄影的热爱也能帮助其他人应对心理健康问题。）”可推断，作者写这篇文章的目的是：介绍Doogue抵抗抑郁症的经历，并希望通过分享他的经历帮助更多有心理健康疾病的人，故选C。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人们对虚拟角色的情感依附和对话AI的进步，人工智能将很快融入人们的日常生活，并提到了可能出现的风险。
28.推理判断题。根据第一段的“Replika, an AI chatbot companion, has millions of users worldwide. The first thing they do when they wake up is to send “Good morning” to their virtual friend （or lover）. This story is only the beginning. In 2024, chatbots and virtual characters become a lot more popular, both for utility and for fun. As a result, conversing socially with machines will start to feel more ordinary---including our emotional attachments to them.（人工智能聊天机器人伴侣Replika在全球拥有数百万用户。他们醒来后做的第一件事就是向虚拟朋友（或爱人）说声“早上好”。这个故事仅仅是个开始。2024年，聊天机器人和虚拟角色将变得更加流行，无论是出于实用性还是出于乐趣。因此，与机器进行社交对话将开始变得更加普通——包括我们对它们的情感依恋。）”可知，第一段介绍了2024年聊天机器人和虚拟角色日益普及的情况，强调了它们的实用性，以及与机器进行社交对话的新趋势。下文讨论人们与这些人工智能代理之间形成的情感联系以及与之进行类似人类的交互的影响奠定了基础，因此第一段的写作目的是引出一个话题，即“人工智能聊天机器人伴侣的逐步推广”。故选B。
29．细节理解题。根据第二段的“Research in human-computer and human-robot interaction shows that we love to anthropomorphize the nonbuman agents we interact with, especially if they imitate behaviour we recognize. And, thanks to recent advances in conversational AI, our machines are suddenly very skilled at one of those behaviours: Language.（对人机和人机交互的研究表明，我们喜欢将与我们交互的非人类代理人赋与人性，特别是当它们模仿我们认识的行为时。而且，由于对话式人工智能的最新进展，我们的机器突然变得非常擅长其中一种行为：语言。）”可知，人类可以通过提高机器的语言技能与其进行对话，从而有效地与机器互动。故选B。
30．主旨大意题。根据第四段的“After all, people do listen to their virtual friends. The Replika example, as well as a lot of experimental lab research, shows that humans can and will become emotionally attached to bots. The science also demonstrates that people, in their eagerness to socialize, will happily disclose personal information to an artificial agent and will even shift their beliefs and behavior. This raises some consumer-protection questions around how companies use this technology to manipulate their users. For example, Replika charges $70 a year. But less than 24 hours after downloading the app, my handsome, blue-eyed “friend” sent me an audio message secretly and tried to sell me something. Emotional attachment has become a weakness that a company is taking advantage of for its benefit.（毕竟，人们确实会听取虚拟好友的意见。Replika的例子以及大量的实验室实验研究表明，人类可以而且将会对机器人产生情感上的依恋。科学还表明，人们在渴望社交时，会很乐意向人工代理透露个人信息，甚至会改变他们的信仰和行为。这就提出了一些关于公司如何利用这项技术操纵用户的消费者保护问题。例如，Replika每年收费70美元。但在下载应用不到24小时后，我那蓝眼睛的英俊“朋友”偷偷给我发了一条音频信息，想卖给我什么东西。情感依恋已经成为公司为了自身利益而利用的弱点。）”可知，第四段主要讲的是人工智能使人产生情感依恋后会引导用户进一步消费，从而带来一些潜在风险。故选C。
31．推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Today, we’re still laughing at people who believe an AI system is emotional, or making fun of individuals who fall in love with a chatbot. But in 2024 we gradually start acknowledging—and taking more seriously—these fundamentally human behaviors. Because in 2024, it finally hits home: Machines are not excluded from our social relationships.（今天，我们仍然在嘲笑那些认为人工智能系统是情绪化的人，或者取笑那些爱上聊天机器人的人。但在2024年，我们将逐渐开始承认并更加认真地对待这些基本的人类行为。因为在2024年，我们终于明白了：机器并没有被排除在我们的社会关系之外。）”可知，2024年，人工智能将很快融入人们的日常生活，与人们的日常生活的关系越来越紧密。故选 B。
32．C 33．B 34．D 35．B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讨论了“毛毛虫是否能”预测“冬季天气？”的问题。
32．细节理解题。根据第二段“According to the folklore（民间传说）, the amount of black on the woolly worm in autumn predicts the severity of the upcoming winter. The longer the woolly worm’s black bands（带） are, the longer, colder, snowier, and more severe the winter will be. Similarly, a wider middle brown band is associated with a milder upcoming winter. The position of the longest dark bands supposedly indicates which part of winter will be coldest or hardest. If the head end of the caterpillar is dark, the beginning of winter will be severe. If the tail end is dark, the end of winter will be cold. In addition, the woolly worm caterpillar has 13 segments to its body, which traditional forecasters say correspond to the 13 weeks of winter.（根据民间传说，秋天毛茸茸的虫子身上的黑色数量预示着即将到来的冬天的严重程度。毛茸茸的蠕虫的黑色带越长，冬天就越长、越冷、越多雪，也就越严酷。同样，较宽的中间棕色带与即将到来的温和冬季有关。据推测，最长的暗带的位置表明冬天的哪个部分将是最冷或最硬的。如果毛毛虫的头端是黑色的，冬天的开始将是严重的。如果尾巴末端是黑色的，冬天结束时就会很冷。此外，毛虫的身体有13节，传统的预报员说，这与冬季的13周相对应）”可知，人们是通过研究毛毛虫身上的颜色来预测天气的。故选C。
33．细节理解题。根据第三段“Having heard about the caterpillar folklore, Curran traveled to Bear Mountain State Park to collect woolly worms each fall for eight years. He found that if the worms had brown markings on more than a third of their body, winters tended to be milder.（听说了毛毛虫的民间传说，柯伦每年秋天都去熊山州立公园收集毛茸茸的蠕虫，持续了八年。他发现，如果这些蠕虫身上有超过三分之一的褐色斑纹，冬天就会比较温和）”可知，Curran的发现是基于他自己的观察。故选B。
34．词义猜测题。根据划线词后文“It’s a wonderful story, but I do think it was a playful trial（这是一个精彩的故事，但我确实认为这是一个有趣的试验）”可知，Joe Boggs表示这确实是一个精彩的故事，但不是一个严肃的试验。说明大多数科学家没有考虑毛毛虫预言的民间传说，故划线词意思是“不予考虑；对……不屑一提”。故选D。
35．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Mike Peters, an entomologist at the University of Massachusetts, doesn’t disagree, but he says there could be a link between the band of a woolly worm and the severity of winter. Peters suggests that the timing of their growth and environmental conditions, such as temperature, moisture levels, and food sources, can impact the appearance of woolly worms, including their size, coloration, and band patterns. By analyzing these characteristics, researchers can potentially infer information about the weather conditions.“The band does say something about a heavy winter,”he says.“The only thing is that it’s telling you about the previous year.”（马萨诸塞州大学的昆虫学家迈克·彼得斯并不反对这种说法，但他表示，毛茸茸的蠕虫和严冬之间可能存在联系。彼得斯认为，它们的生长时间和环境条件，如温度、湿度水平和食物来源，都会影响毛茸茸的蠕虫的外观，包括它们的大小、颜色和条纹图案。通过分析这些特征，研究人员可以潜在地推断出有关天气状况的信息。他说：“色带确实表达了一些关于严冬的东西。唯一的问题是，它会告诉你前一年的情况。”）”可推知，Mike Peters 认为毛毛虫身上的色带可以反映过去的天气情况。故选B。

Impressions from the 3D Printing Exhibition
Last week, I attended a 3D printing exhibition held by our school technology workshop, where lots of 3D art creations were displayed, which surprised us all.
I couldn’t feel more excited to visit the different 3D printed products, such as printed art creations, animals, food and even model planets. Also, the speeches given on 3D printing technology were considered as a highlight to help us better understand the theory, function and practice of 3D technology.
However, I do believe it would be better if the maximum number of visitors could be limited for better experience.

67．范文
What I didn’t realise at the moment was that Liz and I were in the whale’s mouth. It had engulfed my entire body except for my right arm and paddle. Liz, meanwhile, was looking up directly into the whale’s jaw —it was like a big white wall. She told me later she thought she was going to die. I was still worried about being sucked down by the vacuum, so I just kept thinking that I had to get up and fight this. Whales have 7200 enormous mouths but tiny throats. Anything they can’t swallow, they spit out. We were wearing life jackets, and soon we both popped up out of the water about a meter apart. The entire ordeal lasted only ten seconds, but to me it felt like an eternity.
Thankfully, the whale spitted us out, people paddling to help, shooting videos. A few people were nearby, and someone shot a video of the entire incident. A few days later, I studied the video and saw how close I’d come to being injured or killed. I became so much more appreciative of life after that day. There’s no way I’m getting that close to whales again. I want to respect their space and now I’m very aware of the power of nature.

Geo-caching is a great way to add interest to any walk. Turning a walk into an adventure is great, and turning it into a treasure hunt is even better.
Geocaching involves using your GPS or smartphone to track down one of tens of thousands of secret treasures that have been planted all around the country. Those who know the treasures hide the treasure box and leave clues in the form of mapping so that anyone with a GPS device or smartphone loaded with the Geocaching app can seek it out.
To the finder’s usual delight, most treasure boxes come stuffed with various surprises, such as latest novels, toys or dolls. These boxes are hidden almost everywhere. It will come as no surprise to discover that they’re widely hidden in woodland, farmland, and along the coast. But we’ve also found them in supermarket, car parks, in woods at the residence, and in community gardens.
Finding treasure boxes firstly gives kids a reason to go for a walk, and also teaches them micro skills of finding their way around, both digital and traditional.
